Has anyone had any experience with their Gen II 1000lb winch at all or able to offer an opinion please?

Can't comment on that specific model but I have an X20 and it's been awesome.

True! I was looking at getting on b4 I started working for them. Was just a bonus to get one at a better price. I'd definitely by one over a warn.

Iv put one on over the runva winch this time and first time out recovered an amarok :twisted:
Was easy pull but happy with it and wired/wireless remote is great

Dont like the tiny pins for the hand piece plug.. also the switch for the wireless doesnt look like itll last.. the plug for the hand piece is on the side which is hard to plug into on the latest arb bar.. im still deciding between the smitty and runva
